I wanted to thank a neighbor for picking up our mail and papers while we were on a weeks vacation. I started with the T-shirt with stars on front. I wrote the word Thanks on the bottom hem (up-side down in picture). This is my very first Toilet Paper design. I thought she would like it. It turned out great for my first. Then I used the same design with name on a terry towel. This was the first time doing a high pile terry. I needed a broader fonts. I see why Jrob said she sprays it w/ starch and presses down the nap. All and all I was pleased with the way they turned out.

Thanks. It would be nice to have someone else close by but I don't think you want to travel quite that far. It is great to have such a nice neighbor.

I do a lot of towels and i just place solvie on top of pile
it holds it down well.

I forgot to type that is very very nice and would love to know how they reacted when given. Also i love the novel idea of putting thank you on the bottom of the shirt.
by clawton 16 Jun 2008
Thank you so much. I did use solvy on the top but I didn't think to brush the pile down first.

Always use Solvi (wss) on top of towels.Keeps the embroidery nicely on top of the pile. This is a really nice thank you gift. Flower for you.

This set looks great! I would never have known this was your first toilet paper design if you hadn't mentioned it.

Thank you. I was glad that it worked. I kept thinking it was going to tear apart any time. I used solvy on top but it was hard to tear away without tearing the TP
